Centripetal
Centripetal force is the force toward the center of a circular path. It is often confused with centrifugal force, which is the force away from the center.

When an object moves in a circular path, it accelerates toward the center of the circle due to the centripetal acceleration. This acceleration is necessary to keep the object moving in a curved path rather than in a straight line.

Toward the center of mass of the object or objects attracting you. Gravity also pulls it/them toward the center of mass of you.

gravity
The gravitational force between two objects is: Force = G ( M1 M2 / R2 ) 'M1' and 'M2' are the masses of the objects. 'R' is the distance between their centers of mass. 'G' is the gravitational proportionality constant. In the MKS system it's 6.67 x 10-11. The same force acts on both objects. That means that you feel a force pulling you toward the center of the earth ... which you call your 'weight' ... and the earth feels the same force pulling it toward you.
